I like his books but I wonder how different they can really all be. :LOL: I've read Golf is Not A Game of Perfect, Putting Out of Your Mind, and I'm currently reading Golf is a Game of Confidence, although the latter one seems to just be a collection of anecdotes about his pro golfer friends...

Just sat through a Teams meeting where I was trying to concentrate on what he was saying, but I had no idea why I'd been invited to the meeting, or why he was telling me any of the things he was saying. And he sort of dived straight in as if everyone knew why we were there. I hope it wasn't...

Confidence is everything in golf. That's the reason a lot of people have a fairway wood or a putter they've not changed in ten years. It can be hard to beat something you have full confidence in, because you won't hold back when you hit it.

I didn't do a fitting as a high handicapper - but that was largely because I mostly put my bag together with second-hand clubs for the first 4 or 5 years of being back playing. If you want to shell out for new clubs, there's no harm in doing a fitting to simply try as many clubs as you can and...

Do you enjoy the new layout at Wexham? I played it in November but the front nine seemed like a bit of a long old slog, wasn't a fan really. With back-to-back par 5s 5th & 6th, then back-to-back long par 4s 8th & 9th. The back nine was better, but that's mostly the old holes followed by the new...

Ah, interesting, cheers. You'll be spot on then, County Golf flogging them in the sale so they'll likely have had them sitting around for a long time in a warehouse. I've contacted them for a refund and they've said send it back, no questions asked.

I've enjoyed the three fittings I've had via Complete Golfer (which is near where I live, their fittings are done in a studio at Moor Park GC). Things I liked: you pay a fee for the fitting, which is taken off your final purchase if you make one. I feel like the brands with free fittings are...

I wouldn't expect waterproofing to fail due to lack of use though. I mean Galvin Green are out here saying their waterproofing will last you 10 years or whatever, and that's with use? Hard to believe these things would fail just due to sitting around.

Well, I don't think it's the case as when I'm in practice/range mode every club is a good 10-15 yards less than I would expect to see on the golf course. You do hit uphill there too, not sure if that makes any difference or whether it just reads the initial flight and estimates the rest. There...

I know you use some kooky gear, but the Honma might just not be a great driver for you. Might be way more spinny than your older one for example, hence the high loft wouldn't be needed? Who knows.

Interesting, I found the complete opposite yesterday. The regular MacWet was absolutely saturated with water, I could hear them squelching when I gripped the club, and my hands were frozen after 12 holes. I never found that with the FJ one I used before.

Could this be because you're using a 13° driver? Or have you definitely hit it further with that driver before?

I never really bother with these at my Trackman range. Given the variable quality of the balls, I'm never sure if I'm going to spend time practicing all my approach shots and then hit everything 5 yards through the back when I'm out on the course with my normal balls. :LOL:
